I am the LPR, my husband is not and he doesn’t have a US Visa. He doesn’t reside in the US, but I do.

Hello,

 

We are in the process of preparing to file for the I-130. However, my spouse and I recently got married two weeks ago and we don’t have shared residence, finances, apartment leases, etc like that currently. 
 

What is another way of showing evidence of a bona fide marital relationship? We’ve been together for 7 years. 
 

Forgot to mention, he is 26 and I am 23. We are still young and establishing ourselves but our relationship is 100% genuine.

Who is the LPR ? Is the non LPR spouse in the US or in home country 

 

It is very common for newlyweds to have little in the way of documents post marriage. Focus on face to face time together , validation of your longterm relationship etc. Add each other to any financial accounts where possible , make a simple will each making the other the beneficiary.

the non LPR is my husband, he is in home country.

 

he is beneficiary on my life insurance already. How do I validate the long term relationship? Can we submit letters from people who know us  and pictures?

Letters are not weighty. 

Vacation receipts? Itinerary? Family pictures? 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

File the I130 now.  The evidence of a bonafide marriage can be added at the NVC stage which will be a year or so after you submit the I130.

Vacation receipts like our honeymoon?

Yes.  And all the receipts from your entire 6 year relationship including prior to being married.  
 

You aren’t expected to have unified your finances so soon after marriage. By the time you get to interview, you will be expected.  
 

The longer you wait to file I-130 the longer the overall process will take.  And the more evidence will be required.
